Enjoy!

Alex was scared and she couldn't say that very often.
"Iggy? Why are Max's eyes red?" Alex whispered, visibly paling.
"I don't know," Iggy replied, nervously.
As of right now Iggy and Alex were cramped against one corner of the elevator, Jeb was lying on the floor in the middle of the elevator, and Max was standing on the other side with her abdomen wrapped and looking at them with red eyes that seemed to see all the evil that you've committed.
The red-eyed Max smiled and said, "Your leader is fine. She passed out and I took over so her body could heal."
Iggy and Alex's eyes widened.
"Who are you then?" Iggy asked sounding a lot more confident then he actually felt.
"I'm the part of Max that makes her a leader. I'm the bloodthirsty part of her that comes out during a fight," the red-eyed Max smiled wider, "You can call me Shade."
"Not that it wasn't nice to meet you and all, but could send Max out here?" Alex said, trying to sound confident.
"No can do," Shade said, losing her smile, "She's weak and sleeping, so until the whole in her stomach," she said gesturing to her wrapped abdomen, "Is healed, I'll be right here.
"Oh and I should probably warn you," she said continuing, "The only reason you're not dead right now is because she's blocking my body movements to non-threatening. Her willpower is strong enough for that."
Alex and Iggy scooted farther back in the corner and stayed there until the ding that signaled that they reached the top.
Shade moved forward, grabbed Jab and swung him across her shoulder. She walked out of the elevator and went up the stairs that were at the end of a hallway. Alex and Iggy followed cautiously behind her.
At the top of the stairs was some kind of lobby. No one was around and it looked like no one has been around in a very long time, but Shade didn't stop to admire the dust, she stepped out the double doors and took off, Jeb still thrown over her shoulder.
Alex and Iggy quickly hurried after her and into the air and despite their situation they were so happy that they could finally stretch their wings.

"Fang?"
Fang looked from where he was sitting on the edge of the cliff to the blond-haired girl approaching him.
"Yes Angel?"
"Jason's awake now," Angel said.
Fang got up and went over to wear Jason was lying on the ground with the flock surrounding him.
Right after Max dived into the water, Fang had tried to jump after her, but Jason had a flash. So Fang had to make a split second decision and stay so he could get everyone under control.
"Where's Max?"
Fang was jerked out of his train of thought by Jason's question.
"She went to get Alex and Iggy," Fang replied.
Jason took deep breaths and tried to calm down. He was pale and was having trouble breathing. He knew he couldn't last much longer until he passed out again, but he needed to hold out long enough for Max to get his sister.
Fang sighed. He should've gone after her, but he couldn't leave the flock alone especially when one of them was passed out.
"Fang," Angel said looking off in the distance, "Max, Alex, and Iggy are coming."
While the rest of the flock whooped and cheered, Fang kept looking at Angel and knew she was keeping something from them.
'What's up, Angel?'
Angel looked over to Fang and in his mind said, 'Max is different. She's the red Max.'
Fang's face went impassive and he steeled his heart just in case he might have to protect the flock against their leader, their mother, and his girlfriend.
"I understand," he said, almost to himself, looking out into the distance at the slow approaching winged kids.
